OMG - News reporting Sun light Good for Cancers...

river_brat · 02-02-2005, 04:48 PM

So I am sitting here watching my news at 2 and low and behold I hear a skin cancer/melanoma report. Sitting here keeping an ear open thinking I am going to hear the usual about how you need to be a recluse from the sun yadda yadda ya. BUT to my surprise they reported that Scientists have been conducting studies that actually show that people with melanoma have a greater survival rate with greater amounts of sun exposure than those that do not expose themselves to the sun. Something to do with the VITAMIN D production helps these cancerous cells. WOW! I had to use my Tivo and hear it again.

Without Dr. Hollick and the other organizations fighting for our rights, this positive news may have not been on the news.

I had heard the same thing on the morning news, I was so thrilled I wanted to share this with everyone, but my computer wasn't working cause they are working in the area. A small break in the much needed change!! Also a small note, i have had a ton of people coming in saying that their doctors had sent them to help with S.A.D.
